Power aware modelling and design

Abstract

This special session will explore the different constraints in power aware design as well as different modelling approaches to overcome them. The session will start with a system level power consumption modelling approach that enables the simulation of power consumption transients and their effects on AMS subsystems. The next presentation will introduce a model to estimate and benchmark wireless sensor nodes energy lifetime, including power consumption and battery models. The third presentation will show an approach to measure energy and power consumption in multi-core Systems-on-Chip in order to optimise software. Finally the last presentation will analyse near-threshold logic circuits and its vulnerabilities and will propose models of error-aware logic circuits.
